Problem with Realtek's driver r8168
Hi List, I'm new here and want to ask about a problem with my network driver r8168. I've compiled the offical one from Realtek, I can see that the driver recognize the card but it doesnt work. I've no connection. It's a pity because I've only problems with thats, the other things are working properly with a Debian Squeeze. I've a industrial motherboard with 2 network's board. 03:00.0 *Ethernet controller*: *Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd*. *RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller* (*rev 01*) 04:00.0 *Ethernet controller*: *Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd*. *RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller* (*rev 01*) If someone knows something about it I will appreciate the answer. Thanks in advance. Mario Trangoni

Don't know which (etch, lenny, squeeze) your are running but I have the same interface running on squeeze with linux-image-2.6.32 an it works fine. But, I did not have to download the 'offical' one from Realtek as the driver is included in the Debian kernel. I also installed the firmware-realtek package. Maybe that is what you are missing.

(in my experience, most rt, intel, and linksys boards Just Work) what does modinfo or insmod say? does ifconfig -a show any interfaces you weren't expecting? and as wayne mentioned, you shouldn't have to build this. it should be in the stock kernel of most distros (one of the reasons i like these cards).
